ABSTRACT
Aim:
The global COVID-19 pandemic and new variants continue to seriously threaten society. In this study;It was aimed to investigate surveillance of SARS CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses in respiratory tract samples in the winter season of 2020-2021 in Sakarya province. Material andMethod:
The study was carried out at Sakarya Training and Research Hospital between 2020-2021. e study was carried out with respiratory tract samples (Nasopharyngeal swab) stored in the laboratory. Clinical samples included in study were stored in a Bio-SpeedyRvNATRtransfer tube (Bioeksen,Turkey) and no extraction was performed in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. All analyzes were recorded on BIO-RAD CFX-96C1000 Touch Real-time system device using Diagnovital influenza A/B, SARS CoV-2, RSV multiplex Real Time PCR amplification kit.Results:
Of the 200 patients diagnosed with URTI/LRTI, 54.5% were male and 45.5% female. e most common clinical symptoms;sore throat 74%, cough 73.5%, fatigue 71%, fever 57%, runny nose 56%, headache 48.5%, sneezing 41.5%, loss of smell / taste 39.5%, diarrhea 36%, dyspnea was 31.5% and myalgia was 23.5%. PCR positivity rates of samples were analyzed as 28.5% for SARS COV-2 and 1.5% for RSV, respectively. PCR positivity for influenza A/B was not defined in the study. Considering the statistical significance between PCR results and COVID-19 symptoms in patients;symptoms of dyspnea (n=63), fever(n= 62) and sneezing(n=56), respectively, were statistically significant(p<0.05).Conclusion:
Due to the circumstances, only three main viral agents could be investigated in the study. RSV was frequently identified as an important factor in pediatric patients, whereas influenza-which may be related to social and individual measures (mask,distance,hygiene)- was not detected in any sample. More comprehensive scientific studies are needed to support the data.
